A present to my self

Well today is another year that I got to live. In commemoration I drew a picture of Ai Takahashi as the last drawing of the past year and the first drawing of my new year on this earth. I started doing this on new years, but I think it makes more sense to do it every time I gain a new year of life. Don’t you think. I do this to mark my progress every year and also to make those days even more special. Truthfully the reason I was able to be content over the years was because I had Morning Musume  fill me with laughter and awe when watching their music videos or variety shows. The person that really stood out and made me get interested in the group though was Ai-chan. The first ever appearance (for me) was in their music video “Mikan”. That video just captivated me and left me wanting more. It was truly painful having her go, just when I was beginning to know her.

For this reason I decided to draw her, my favorite Momusu.

 

It may not be my best work, but it isn’t too bad either.

Another drawing that I am working on, is of another one of my favorite Momusus (although I do have to admit that I absolutely love all the members from the “Platinum Era”), Reina Tanaka. This is the last drawing I have worked on this day, another present to my self. And also a work that I wish to present to Reina-chan on her birthday this month. I will do my best to make it one of my greatest pieces.

As of now it is still a work in progress, but here is a sneak peak:

How to Draw Challenge – Dante (COLOR)

request by: MrEndcraft

Devil may cry is a game I have had the urge to play and yet have still not had the chance to do so, which is kind of ridiculous if I really think about it. As soon as I have some spare money I am definitely purchasing the series (luckily the most of the games should have a big discount by now).

Despite not playing the games yet, I have taken notice of Dante and the Devil May Cry series. I have always thought that they looked extremely cool and interesting after I saw a friend playing the game, I believe it was the second one in the series. It was so long ago I do not remember clearly.

Anyway here is another drawing request and I truly hope you guys enjoy it. I really like the hairstyle Dante used when he was younger although that one strap that only covers his chest takes a bit to get used to. I’ve noticed that most of my request have red in them…

Hope you enjoy it,

How to Draw Challenge: The Eleventh – Ghost

Modern Warfare 2 was the game that first introduced me to the new generation of first person shooter games (the first would probably be 007 Golden Eye). I really enjoyed the both the story and the gameplay, not to mention all the memorable characters especifically Ghost. I don’t know, there is just something about him tha makes him so cool and a favourite among alot of fans. I don’t know what it is about him that makes him this way. Maybe it’s just his mask, or maybe it’s his cool english accent, heck it could just be because he would have our backs throughout most of the game. Although I believe it has alot to do with the scene where we both fight our way through hordes of enemies only to be killed and burned together (kind of like those bloodbrothers you see in novels or movies). Whatever the reason, Ghost is cool and let’s just leave it at that.

If and when I do another drawing from Modern Warfare, I am thinking about drawing Roach so I hope you look forward to that.

For this video I recommend listening to: “Betrayal – Ghosts Fate”

Hope you enjoy it,
